I purchased a few on another forum as a group purchase. I've only used them once, more as preventive maintenance on an old McIntosh tube amp. I know a few folks that swear by them. Don't cost much, give them a try.

Bill, Good to hear. My son is living in Canada and is venturing into 'hifi'. He has purchased an old(30 plus years) Beomaster receiver and wishes to clean the RCA sockets.
I have let him know about the cleaning tool. Must get it, myself.
Cheers, Marshall.

Interesting! Wasn't aware of it, though was recently dreaming of ways to modify/use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser technology, but this one would have never popped up in my consciousness unless I needed one more rigid than just poking/rotating it in the eraser. Still, if I can find some locally............ Thanks for heads up!

be cooler if you could chuck them up in a drill.Originally Posted by GM

Actually, the proper way to use them is to push in and pull out without twisting. It seems counter intuitive, I know.

True, striations should always go with the 'grain' and if not, then a crosshatch pattern if unable to, so in this case where an antioxidant lubricant is desired, the latter is my choice same as when honing a piston ring/cylinder bore.
Why can't they be used in a drill? Too soft?
I noticed that this has been around for decades, dropped and re-issued in 2001, so really surprised I've never seen it mentioned, especially back then when I was browsing dozens of audio/video related forums as well as a few holdout email BBs.

seems that when plugs are pushed and pulled straight in and out it would leave striations and crosshatch or rotary motion would negate them.

Well, yeah and why both connectors must be done.

Hmm, OK, thanks, then I won't get one since my way is better overall WRT conductivity, at least with the lubricant I use.
